profess it, from the Primordial Beginning (Al-Dharw al-Awwal) until this day of ours. Nor is it permissible to withhold it or conceal it from the believer, who continues to affirm its Guardianship (Wilaya), responding to it, firm in faith in it, and loyal to its people, from the Primordial Beginning until this day of ours.

The Scholar—peace be from him—said: "Do not withhold wisdom from its people, for you would waste it." Therefore, Allah addressed us in His Noble Book with these ambiguous worldly names and, in His discourse, He placed upon each specific name both praise and blame as a Wisdom from Him—the Almighty. This was done so the believer may deduce that Allah, by mentioning these praised worldly designations, intends nothing but Praised Persons (Ashkhas) and Blamed Persons.

Had the Outward (Zahir) been the intended meaning, He—the Glorified—would not have praised any of them in one place while blaming it in another.
